Tingle's Random Cooking Tips: Make Awesome Bullbo Strips (Bacon)

Tingle loves crispy bullbo strips. Yum, yummy. He loves them so much that he came up with an ingenious idea of how to get it just right that he would like to share. Enjoy!

Get your bacon spread out on a broiler pan, so it can drip off as it renders. Add a topping option if you choose. Turn on the oven and put the bacon in the oven as it preheats to 425 degrees F.  Once it comes to temperature, bake for an additional approximately 10-15 minutes (20-25 minutes total) or until nice and crispy.


Suggested Toppings Options

  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar and 1 T Cinnamon
  • 3 T Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Minced Jalapenos and 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 T. Pumpkin Spice
  • 3 T Cumin and Juice of 1 Lime

Tingle is at it again and this time his rummaging through the fridge in search of who knows what. Wait . . eggs? lemons?? mustard??? garlic???? OH! Looks like our friend is going to show us a thing or two about making a form of mayonnaise called aoli. This is fantastic on sandwiches, salads or just dipping vegetables in. Enjoy!

Add all ingredients except the olive oil into a small bowl.






Whisk together to combine. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue to whisk until it becomes thick and the garlic suspends in the mixture. That's it! Store in an airtight container in the fridge and it will last about 3 days - so eat up! Enjoy!

Tingle's Random Cooking Tips: Lemon Curd

Kooloo-Limpah! Tingle is out and putting random stuff into the world. So, we've given him a chance to prove himself useful by handing out random cooking tips.  These tips are completely random when they come out - so stay tuned! Anyways, Lemon Curd is super easy to make and it sad that they charge so much for it in grocery store. Since it is citrus season, Tingle thought it appropriate to give you something to do with it all. This is not limited to lemons, but also try grapefruit, blood oranges, tangerines, key limes, etc. The best part - it can kept frozen for up to a year if we do things right. Keep some on hand for Springtime desserts and Summer trifles.

Gear!
5 Egg Yolks
1 Cup Sugar
1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice and zest 
1 Stick of Butter - Cut into small pieces then chilled

Now, let's make the curd! In a double-boiler bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Zest and squeeze the lemons. Add juice and zest to egg mixture and whisk smooth. Place on double boiler.


Continuously whisk until thickened over medium heat, approximately 8 minutes, or until mixture coats the back of a spoon and is generally the consistency of pudding.
Remove promptly from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time. It should start getting think and rich.Transfer to a container and chill for at least 2 hours. Extra Tip! If it seems a little runny after chilling, you can put it back in the double boiler - if really runny also add another egg yolk and cook down until thickens up. Chill again for at least 2 hours.

To freeze, divide into small freezer safe containers. Label with date and keep in the freezer until ready to use - should keep for months.
